Did anyone else notice the train horn after the last 2 touchdowns and after the game was over? I hope they keep that going into next year.

Loved the train whistle and the opening flyover. Gave Hud options on his way out of town. :D

Can't really blame him for not wanting to come to Boone. Thing you guys missed, he complains about having to travel to play us in Lafayette as well.

Train Whistle for each touchdown should be kept.

Not sure about the train whistle thing...back in my day the Western Carolina people always used to call us UNC-Tweetsie. It was a long time ago...but I still don't like it. So, I'm luke-warm on the train whistle...

i think the whistle is great but should be reserved for hitting a certain score...say 50, after 50 we should blow the crap out of it and flash the number on the board.

As long as the whistle doesn't replace firing the Kentucky long rifle.

Guess I'm an old fuddy duddy now but no on the whistle.
Great showing by the Mountaineers. Although "Toldeo" might want to win one last time for the big guy and some revenge, the Mountaineers were a machine Saturday . Hope it keeps churning. Watched replay last night, the Fitch score is what its about. One of the if not the best score in KBS. Maybe better than go for 2.

Call us what you want but at the end you’ll call us winners.
